A YOUNG WYER's CRIME.
Forging the Name OF Ex-Judge
BroOmniI OF Media for $1,000.


Oliver Troth, young member Of the
Delaware county bar, has absconded and It
is now ascettaIned that he is a forger to the
amount OF $4,000. He forged the name Of
ex'Judge Broomallof Media, whose Chester
interests the young attorney looked after.
Notes to the amount Of $4,000 were found
In the Chester banks'wit very good imi-
tation Of John NJ. Broomall's signature
attached to them. He was connected with
two or three building associations and he
Ia found to be short $4,000 10 one of these.
Mr.. Troth left home Saturday week, and his
speculatlons did not leak out until Thursday.
His father, a wealthy New Jersey farmer,
came to Chester Thursday and made good
all his sons deficits.
Troth came here from New Jersey eight
or ten years ago as one OF the proprietors
of ths Euening Mems, and finally drifted
into the bar. Nobody knows where he mas
gone or what he did with the money he
raised. He was a married man and not
considered very fast, and his crime Is q sur
prise to everybody who knew him.

st. Peters Hospital was blessed last
Sunday afternoon, by. Right Rev.
Janger, Bishop OF Nesqually. In
spite of the inclemency OF the weather,
the chapel and halls were filled with
eager visitors. After the ceremony,
his lordship in eloquent words spoke
of the divine virtue of charity towards
the weak and the afflicted, as charac-
teristic attribute of the Catholic chufch.
st. Peters Hospital is now completed,
and Olympia has reason to be proud
of this institution. Erected on Capt.
tol hill, it will stand as an ornament to
our beautiful city and as lasting
monument of the peoples generosity.
Much credit is due to those who en-
couraged and promoted this enter
prise and especially to those who con-
tributed their mite to locate this
charitable institution in our midst.
Over seventy patients have been re-
ceived within its walls, and they are
loud in praise for the kind treatment
they received. Their testimony has
established the hospitals reputation,
and secured patronage beyond the
sisters most sanguine expectations.
Let visitors goa and see for themselves,
and be convinced that nothing has
been spared to secure case and COM
fort for the patients, They will find
one striking feature, in this: That
although sick and suffering, the in
mates of st. Peters Hospital feel
happy and contented. Blessed are
the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy."
